HTTP: Generic Libpcap/TCPDump PCAP File Format String Detection
This signature detects format string exploits contained within Libpcap/TCPDump packet capture (PCAP) files. Such exploits could allow an attacker to trigger a memory corruption that could be leveraged further to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
